Why does lust feel so powerful—so consuming, so shameful, so confusing? In this piercing episode, Sukadeva Gosvami unveils the deeper truth behind sexual desire, temptation, and attachment through the ancient wisdom of the Vedas.
Drawing from the Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, and esoteric yogic psychology, Sukadeva explains:
Why lust (kāma) is not sin—but misunderstood energy
How desire becomes bondage when we forget who we are
The difference between sacred desire and toxic craving
Why spiritual bypassing lust never works—and what true transmutation looks like
A mystic path to reclaiming purity, power, and presence
Whether you struggle with sexual addiction, emotional entanglement, or longing that won’t leave, this episode is a light in the dark.
You are not the lust. You are the witness who can alchemize it into freedom.
